ABL RS1 Block 2
RS1 Block 2 was ABL's revised eleven-engine first-stage configuration. A flight-intent vehicle entered integrated preflight testing in 2024, but a residual fire after a July 19 static-fire attempt irrecoverably damaged it before launch. ABL ended its commercial orbital-launch effort later that year, leaving Block 2 unflown.
